  SAP Error Message:
  WFD_WP1_MSG027 Make sure the dates for the roles don’t overlap.
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP Workflow when you assign multiple roles to a user or organizational object with validity periods that overlap. SAP Workflow requires that the validity periods of roles assigned to the same user or organizational object do not overlap to avoid ambiguity in role determination during workflow processing.
  For example, if a user is assigned Role A from 01.01.2024 to 31.12.2024 and the same user is assigned Role A again from 01.07.2024 to 31.12.2024, the overlapping period (01.07.2024 to 31.12.2024) causes this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Role Assignments:
  
  Go to the role assignment transaction or table where the roles are maintained (e.g., PFCG for roles or the workflow organizational assignment).
  Identify the roles assigned to the user or organizational object that have overlapping validity dates.
  
  
  
  Adjust Validity Periods:
  
  Modify the validity dates so that the periods do not overlap.
  For example, change one role’s validity
